Lille's best game bars: board games, darts and music quizzes

Lille has developed a taste for play. In just a few years, bars that swap loud music for a board game, a dartboard or a buzzer have multiplied, and local press follows them closely. It is the right pick for a group that wants to talk without shouting, often at regular bar prices.

Le Dernier Bar avant la Fin du Monde is described by Lille Addict as a must for board games, with Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel universes. La Luck, in Vieux-Lille, offers hosts who guide you through more than 2,000 games for 5 euros per person. Musi'Quiz turns blind tests and music quizzes into a real TV set, with aperitif included.

Among the newer venues, Highton has set up six dartboards on the Deûle since summer 2024, Arcania opened in May 2025 in a former chapel in Lomme with 300 board games, and Chez Oit combines a pool table, consoles and 104 board games. Les Sales Mômes, Chat Joue and Beerchope round out the list for beer lovers and long sessions.
